Helping out: G.D. Searle & Co. said it is contributing 500,000 doses of medicines to the Somalian relief effort in response to an appeal by U.S. Sen. Paul Simon (D-Ill.). Among the products the company said it is contributing will be Flagyl, which is used to treat intestinal and liver infections, and Maxaquin, used to treat respiratory and urinary-tract infections, said Kay Bruno, a spokeswoman for Searle.
